About this festival

'전라관찰사의 탄생'은 전라감영을 배경으로 진행되는 직접 참여형 역사 체험 프로그램으로 조선 시대 전라감영에서 벌어진 사건을 관람객이 직접 해결하며 새로운 전라관찰사가 탄생되는 과정을 담고 있다. 20여 명의 전문 배우와 리얼 타임으로 진행되는 프로그램은 정해진 시간마다 세계관 속 사건들이 하나의 극으로 이어진다. 또한 전라감영 속 인물들이 가지고 있는 조선시대 직업 이야기도 듣고, 다양한 추억의 놀이 및 조선 직업 체험 등 조선시대 전라감영의 일상을 교류하며, 관람객은 단순한 관람을 넘어 극의 일부가 되어 역사적 현장을 체험할 수 있다.

Buy one at a convenience store such as GS25, CU or 7-Eleven and top it up there with cash. It pays for subways and buses in most cities, and for most taxis.

Maps

Use Naver Map or Kakao Map for walking and bus directions; Google Maps does not yet give walking directions in Korea. Both apps can be switched to English. Naver Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → Language (Japanese and Chinese also available). Kakao Map: Menu (≡) → Settings → App settings → Language. If the option is missing, change your phone’s language and reopen the app. Small shop names and some reviews stay in Korean.
